Where to Get The COVID-19 Vaccine and Booster in Jersey City
The CDC strongly advocates receiving any vaccine rather than being unvaccinated. It’s your choice which vaccine to receive. Still, based on the latest evidence on vaccine effectiveness, safety, rare adverse events, and consideration of the U.S. vaccine supply, the CDC recommends the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine (Moderna or Pfizer) over the Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine. Therefore, we created this guide if you want to get a vaccine or booster in Jersey City. If you are looking for information on vaccines for children, you can check this guide out.
